Disabled to Able

My health problems have never defined me. I believe myself to be a 'Pollyanna', a person who views situations optimistically. I can always find a positive in the negative and this attitude has helped me throughout my life.

My health problems have never defined me. I believe myself to be a 'Pollyanna', a person who views situations optimistically. I can always find a positive in the negative and this attitude has helped me throughout my life. I once read about the death of a woman who was a world-renowned talented artist and a vibrant creative woman known by royalty and heads of state. She was someone whom my husband and I had met, liked, joked with, and who was left in crippling pain from nerve damage after surgery. She had fallen to her death from her high-rise apartment and was now lost forever. Her loss resonated with me as I too have endured intense pain that goes for months on end and have experienced a mindset where you cannot think straight and have felt close to the edge. Putting on a brave face when your body is filled with excruciating pain is tiring on a daily basis. Hearing of this tragedy was one of the reasons why I decided to share my story in the hope that you explore the many ways that we can heal our bodies and our minds through alternate therapies. The key lies in finding the therapy that resonates with you, be it acupuncture, hypnotherapy, EFT, kinesiology, homeopathy, energy healing like Reiki, some of the many that are available. I have used and will continue to use these methods as they have all had a place in my ongoing healing. I hope, by sharing my story of being on a disabled pension and being told I would be wheelchair bound, this book will help you discover your own healing journey. May this book empower you so that you are not only 'able' but that you become strong and resilient.
